More than half of Americans say there’s no chance of them voting for former President Donald Trump to return to the White House in 2024, according to a national poll released Wednesday.
With Trump, 77, the clear front-runner in the Republican primary, 53% of Americans told the AP-NORC Center survey they would “definitely not” support him next November – with another 11% saying they would “probably not” pull the lever for the 45th president.
That leaves just 36% who say that they would “probably” or “definitely” support Trump in his third consecutive bid for the presidency.
But Trump’s high disapproval rating among the general public has yet to affect most Republicans, with 74% saying they would definitely or probably support the former president if he were the GOP nominee — and 63% saying they wanted Trump to keep running in 2024. *** On the other side of the aisle, three-quarters of respondents — including 55% of Democrats — said they did not want President Biden to seek re-election. However, only 43% of Americans said they definitely would not support him in a general election, while 11% said they would “probably not.”
*** Meanwhile, a Quinnipiac University survey of a hypothetical Biden-Trump 2024 matchup showed the incumbent leading the former president by one percentage point in the popular vote, 47% to 46%.
The same poll also found that 54% of Americans think Trump should be prosecuted for his alleged attempts to remain in power following his defeat by Biden in 2020, while 68% said they believed anyone convicted of a felony should not be eligible to serve as president. ***

Trump for all he had done as President did the greatest favor we could have ever asked for from an elected official. That was to expose just how far from the truth it is that we are governed by our peers.
Here everyday...we act like we still have a country worth voting for...yet it is painfully obvious we don't.
So do you suggest we all just don’t vote? What do you suggest?
That pretty much is right on the money.
That was the case twenty and more years ago. If you could get 50% registration, and better than 50% turn-out, you were about maxxed out. Today, you get the ballot-harvested indifferent, the hard-core left (including the AWFULs), and the government-dependent. The pool of people that still fight against them is becoming overwhelmed, and less likely to believe that it matters. Then we get handed a Romney or McCain....
Wow… so half of voters are democrat leaning….. so this is a shock to me
Amusing that you think voting actually matters.
As if the Golden Calf puppet masters in the Deep State will ever allow American citizens to elect their leaders.
Voting in the USA is an illusion, to give the appearance of consent of the governed.
Nothing will change until Washington DC is obliterated by radioactive waste. /spit
This is just getting sad. 🙄

There is no surprise here. In fact, this is precisely what the American electorate did in 2020, when it gave Trump 46.8% of the popular vote. Nothing has or will change on this, as everyone’s minds are made up about Trump, and he has little to no prospect of changing anyone’s mind.
More importantly, Trump lost all the swing states (PA, MI,WI,AZ, NV, GA), and none of them are coming back to him, even against a feeble, incompetent Biden.
I’m in GA and voted for DT twice but won’t again. GA is #1 world-wide in film production, which began when “Deliverance” was filmed here and then GA provided all kinds of incentives to keep the gravy flowing. Film folks generally vote D but my NW GA Rep - Marjorie Taylor Greene - is among the most conservative in the House.
Remember. Don’t let the Ass Press confuse you. They have no credibility. Just another lying tentacle of the DNC.
To your point about being delusional, we currently live in a world of misinformation and propagandized disinformation. That said, what is the truth, and what/who can you trust? If you lived in Nazi Germany you would have been bombarded with untrue 'truths'. The same is happening here - only it's worse now because we have much more powerful means of disseminating information AND disinformation.
For example, the 'Russian Dossier' was portrayed as truth, whereas the Hunter Biden laptop was portrayed as fake. As we now know, the absolute opposite is the real truth for both. There are plenty of people out there who don't know the real truth - still.
Fauci, as another example, was called "America's Doctor" by Jill Biden and has been lauded as a great American hero by many in the media. The reality is that at the very least he suppressed science related to the origins of Covid.
Lies, deceptions, mis and disinformation, etc. are very hard to walk back once they've been disseminated. These are dire times, and dangerous times. Being wary of any source of information, without first investigating and vetting its validity is entirely understandable.
Hard to believe with so many people struggling these days to pay for necessities like groceries and gas for the car that they'd vote for more of same, which will certainly get worse with a 2nd Biden admin.
Biden should be in 1980 Carter territory.
I'm reposting this for you so everyone can see what the big lie is.
They need to clarify this with, If bidet is their candidate then most voters would vote for a turnip instead of him.
With Biden we’re already in “Weekend With Bernie” territory. This was a movie where two underlings go on a trip with their boss who dies on them. They then drag him around the beach area, propping him up in amusing ways.
One assumes that each respondent’s citizenship status was thoroughly checked before asking the question... /s
Are you Mitchell? I think so.
That reads like a potential Babylon Bee story. LOL
I was really being sarcastic about what the writer said...LOL
This is a deliberate “push” poll that is... full of crap.
And brought to you by that group of devoted public servants who so kindly kept us informed of the dangers of wu-flu and the need for the clot-shots.
Give them the respect thedy deserve.
